Horrible bedside manner. Was rude, rushed, constantly cut me off when I tried discussing health concerns. He seemed irritated whenever I asked questions. Focused his attention on his computer to finish the note, versus having eye-contact and a conversation. Instead of explaining the treatment plan directly to me (medications, labs, etc) he read off his thoughts as he was typing it into the note. As someone else said, he sounded very robotic. Did not discuss exercise or nutrition, despite me trying to address that. I plan to change doctors and even clinic if necessary.

Dr Bayer is professional and thorough. He asks the right questions and orders all pertinent tests to protect your health. He is always pleasant which is a great complement to being a good doctor.

Dr. Bayer is an excellent and outstanding Endocrinologist. I have been seeing him for over 20 years. He's very thorough and explains things to you. He takes his time and listens to you. He's very friendly and he has a great sense of humor. He's the best Endocrinologist around and I would recommend him to anyone!!! ?

Dr. Bayer has always listened to my symptoms, not just bloodwork results. When the tests he ran came back normal, but my symtpoms said otherwise, he ran more tests until he figured out what was wrong. When my prognosis wasn't great, he personally called me to go over the results and then followed up with a second phone call a week later to see if I had any new questions since our first conversation.

Dr. Bayer is a Diabetic Endocrinologist that I have complete trust in has really turned my A1C Goal/Goals to the Positive. He is very knowledgeable in his field and he always spends appropriate time w/patient/patients. I will be 62 in December and have been battling Diabetes since 1999/2000. He has also been a big influence on how I feel about my condition-always Positive.
He has my Thanks!

Do not take the bad reviews seriously! Dr. Bayeris amazing & caring! So, if you need a really good doctor that cares about your health & does not set a timer when you walk in, he is your answer to getting your health back on track! I came to him when there was no one else. He cared & I am now on my way to not only answers but resolutions. He has a good heart & is a briliant doctor! If you are serious about working on your health & learning how to be healthier but need a coach; he is for you!

Dr Bayer is a no-nonsense doctor that is very knowledgable and thoruough. I have gone to him for many years before a car accident and am now able to see him again. I could not find his phone number so I looked it up. As I read the reveiws that were positive, I could relate. As I read the negative reviews I wondered what could have gone wrong. I made my appointment a little concerned. Well, I can only say that Dr. Bayer is still the caring wonderful doctor that I remember.

He needs to retire. He's clearly mad at everything, he was 30 minutes late to an 8:00 am meeting and told me out of the gate he already didn't know what to do. He took no time to listen and understand. he's terrible, go somewhere else

One of the worst doctors I have ever seen. Rude, disrespectful, and just plain mean. He doesn't care about patients and this was shown by his horrible bedside manner. He needs training on how to be nice to people.

Dr. Bayer is so nice. He listens and is excited when he sees me progressing in my health. Worked consistently to get my thyroid medication to the appropriate level.

Rude bedside manner, rushes through, and was annoyed when I had to mention multiple health issues. He really seems to hate his job. Probably competent with thyroid issues but just too rude and unhappy!

Dr Bayer acted like a robot.
Dr Bayer made eye contact 5 seconds during the entire appointment. He spent all his time filling out forms on his computer instead of listening to any concerns I had.
His bedside manner is horrible, he is extremely unwilling to entertain other professional opinions. He was very concerned about if insurance will cover instead of the care of the patient, save yourself the frustration find a different doctor who cares about your health & issues.

Everything I heard about Dr. Bayer from other Doctors and the general public is true. He will take the extra mile on getting to the root of your issues. I felt comfortable with his personality and concern for my health and well being.
